Beach and Forest School

The ethos of Forest and Beach School is deeply rooted in respect for children and young people, recognising them as capable,
curious and innately connected to the natural world.
This outdoor learning approach takes place in natural
settings like woodlands or beaches and gives children the freedom to explore, play, and learn at their own pace through hands-on activities.
With a focus on exploration, creativity, and confidence - this
approach supports all areas of development - emotional, physical,
social, and cognitive development.
Sessions are guided by trained practitioners, encouraging
measured risk-taking, problem-solving and connection, all while having fun and maybe getting a little muddy!
